Plus the politicing of a President, Emporer and Pope. It also introduced the United States Marine Corps onto the world stage of battle and bravery. A handful of leathernecks with a raggle-taggle army of camel-drivers and mercenaries, under determined leadership, routed the best the Barbary Coast Pirates could muster. They helped free their comrades, after they marched across a desert, quelled mutinies and meted out frontier justice.
